# REST API Basic Auth broken

 * Hi,
 * We have a problem, if we enable the Booster User Roles Changer in the General
   Module, the Woocommerce REST API Authorization by Basic Auth does not work anymore.
   
   As soon as this option is disabled everything works normal again.
 * That’s quite a big problem for us as we need both these functions to work in 
   our website.
 * We already tried to disable every plugin in the website and narrowed down the
   culprit to be this Booster feature of the General Module.
 * Could you please help?
 * Thank you very much in advance for the collaboration
 * EDIT: Not only the Basic Auth is broken with that Booster function activated,
   but also the Auth with the query_string attached to the URL.
